"Rob Schneider Stands Firm: No Apologies for Comedy at GOP Event"
Comedian Rob Schneider denies reports that his stand-up comedy set at a Republican networking event was cut short due to jokes bombing, stating that he performed for the full 50 minutes as agreed. The set allegedly included "raunchy" material and jokes aimed at Asian people, which led Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith to walk out. A spokesperson for Hyde-Smith described the set as "gross and vulgar." The Senate Working Group, which organized the event, expressed regret over the entertainment falling short of expectations and claimed that Schneider disregarded a verbal agreement to keep his set relatively clean.
